Past Events
RCR’s NTN Forum – Virtual Event
September 9, 2025
MSSA: Event Partner
Join RCR Wireless News and MSSA on September 9th
to uncover how NTNs are converging with terrestrial
systems — technically, commercially and globally.
As 5G matures and the path to 6G takes shape,
non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are becoming
essential to extending connectivity, enhancing
resilience, and enabling global service coverage.
The NTN Forum brings together thought leaders
to explore the real-world deployment of NTNs, the
evolution of 3GPP standards, and the software-defined
architectures powering this next generation of
hybrid networks.
